Local, not-for-profit community organisations and groups are being encouraged to apply for a one-off donation under Melton City Council's Mayoral Charity Fund.
Donations of up to $1,500 have been made available to support groups to develop or implement projects that will benefit the community.
City of Melton Mayor Cr Kathy Majdlik, said she was pleased that the Mayoral Charity Fund would once again help local activities continue to grow and thrive in the community.
"This fund is another way to encourage and support the wonderful work local groups and volunteers do to keep our community active and connected," Cr Majdlik said.
"It was set up as an alternative to holding the traditional Mayoral Ball, and I'm so pleased to use this opportunity to acknowledge and thank local groups with these donations.
"I encourage and welcome all local, not-for-profit community groups and clubs to apply."
Applications close 5pm on Monday 27 September.
